Fantastic experience: Nice bathing place, access via ladders, paved road until the end. Mind the waves and the resulting pull of the sea.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place, perfect for spending the whole day. There are picnic areas. There are no natural pools, it is direct access to the sea via a ladder.

Fantastic experience: Access is via a narrow road with a lot of elevation, and it allows for a swim although the water access is by trail and stairs. There is plenty of free parking.

Fantastic experience: Area of puddles and natural pools. The access has been improved, and there are new flat areas that serve as sunbathing spots and shaded zones. One of the pools has a staircase for access, making the place suitable for the whole family. It is in a contrasting location; you can be in shallow puddles and suddenly find yourself in holes and cavities that reach tens of meters, where a great variety of benthic fauna is sheltered.

Negative experience: My rating is only for the beach, supposedly to be able to bring your dog. It is not suitable for them. There is no safe area to access the sea or we did not find it. We followed the meters where dog bathing was allowed and there the access to the sea was quite complicated and dangerous.

Fantastic experience: The road to get there is a real driving test, but once you arrive, the views are incredible. The beach, the natural pool, the volcanic mountain… We went at sunset and it was a unique experience. One of the best on the island!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful area, there are also some small sand beaches to walk to. It can get a bit wavy, so pay much attention to the so called 'natural' pool area were the stairs to water are. Otherwise a very enjoyable area for some sun bathing, a swim and amazing sunsets. You also have table seating in the shade, if you're intersted in a full day spent there.

Fantastic experience: Great beach area, which is very spacious. There are many entry points into the water via ladders, but also sections of sand and rocks that allow access for swimming. Wooden paths have been installed and there are huge covered barbecue huts. You can find an undisturbed place at any time - simply fantastic. Sanitary facilities and a kiosk (which was closed during our visits) are available near the parking lot, which can be reached without problems via an asphalt road. Clear recommendation for the entire area!

Fantastic experience: It's a spectacular place for swimming and watching the sunset, easy to get to and park. There's also a beach bar. I went when there was no one there and the landscape was breathtaking, apparently movies have been filmed there. About 30 minutes from La Restinga.

Positive experience: Splendid and scenic place, with a restaurant and parking. Pleasant weather and crystal clear water, it also has tables for picnics and ladders to get into the water. The only downside is that it is not a beach per se, but rather a cove. However, regardless of that, it is a must-visit to one of the 11 best beaches in the Canary Islands, according to National Geographic.

Fantastic experience: Beach... although more than a beach, it is an area protected by rocks that keeps the waters calm. There are several staircases to access the water. Flat, well-maintained areas, almost paved, for sunbathing. A very well-kept place, with parking, ideal for swimming, and during high season there is a beach bar/restaurant open.

Fantastic experience: Merece la pena visitar la Playa. A primera horas de la mañana la marea es muy baja y apenas hay oleaje. Parece un vaso de agua. A medio día sube un poco pero tampoco dificulta el baño. Mucha zona para tomar el sol, servicio de socorrista y disponen de área recreativa con zona de barbacoa y mesas para comer. Hay un Kiosko donde puedes comer y beber en la entrada a la playa junto al parking. Parking de sobras para cualquier hora del dia

Fantastic experience: A unique place to visit in El Hierro, like many others it is ideal for staying with the van. It has a small public bathroom, picnic areas, and water. Incredible views and movie-like sunsets. Highly recommended for a visit, and just like the Orchilla pier, I have no coverage all day at my home, hahahaha.

Fantastic experience: Estas piscinas naturales son ideales para hacer snorkel y disfrutar de la gran diversidad de peces. El entorno es impresionante con grandes cortados volcánicos a la espalda. El lugar está bien preparado, con zonas de merendero. Hay socorristas y en el kiosco puedes comer algún pescado fresco, lapas o unas papas arrugás mientras disfrutas de las vistas

Fantastic experience: Otro paraje espectacular en esta maravillosa isla.....a pocos minutos de la Restinga...entorno volcánico con precisos colores que contrastan con un mar azul y cristalino....ideal para un baño....mejor equipado para un buceo....aunque sea snorkel....

Roberto Medina Brito “Rober” 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Un lugar fantástico para disfrutar del mar y la naturaleza, no olvides tus gafas de buceo, el tubo y... protector solar, además de las sandalias porque el suelo quema mucho cuando le da el sol! :)

Antonio 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Otra delicia de la geografía de esta maravillosa isla del Hierro. Un enclave natural que hay que visitar y en el que hay que bañarse. Recomiendo usar escarpines, por las piedras, y, si es posible, llevarse unas gafas de buceo y un snorquel. Verás una fauna espectacular. La bajada al agua puede hacerse por las escaleras habilitadas para ello. También hay quien prefiere zambullirse desde las rocas. En fin, allá cada uno. A mí me ha encantado. Lo recomiendo.

Fantastic experience: One of the most beautiful beaches on the island. It is important to check the tidal and wave conditions. It can cover the entire passage area. There are access stairs to get down to the sea, but it can be dangerous depending on the state of the sea. You have to be careful.

Fantastic experience: A spectacular beach with plenty of marine life and a wonderful sunset, highly recommended. PLEASE AVOID filthy people, as there was an elderly person (about 65) who had thrown trash on the ground. A local told him to respect the area as there are trash bins, and the old man got defensive because like all elderly people, he thinks he has the right to do anything, calling him an environmentalist, raising his voice and claiming that 'he would smash his head.' His companion, a younger and heavier person, defended the grandfather even though he was wrong. If we all acted like this man without picking up what we threw away at the end of the day, the beach would go from being nice to dirty with trash in the sea. Respect the places you go, don’t be filthy, you have your own home for that.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful spot in the south of the island. It's a pity that the bar doesn't open more often to have a drink in an incredible location. We went twice, once during the day with great sunshine and calm sea, and another time at night for astrophotography when the haze gave us a break and we could see the Milky Way. Noteworthy, something that surprised us. When night fell, we started to hear a noise that we didn't know, something scary that frightened us. With the flashlights, we shone the light around and saw nothing, turning and searching for what it could be, we realized it was the 'cries' of the island's native lizards.

Fantastic experience: Like almost everywhere on the island, here we also have a place where we can enjoy the sea in all its fullness... An area sheltered from the trade winds where we can take a bath in its turquoise waters, practice various water sports, or have a drink at a small kiosk at the entrance. For us it was our first fishing stop and although we weren't lucky, we enjoyed the surroundings very much and a coffee that lifted our spirits...
